When I was a young man, Heard Spirit in the Sky I didn’t understand it just liked how it sounded like something big was waiting somewhere I pictured distance Unending blue sky over forever thought that’s where You kept Yourself and I stayed down here guessing Years went by like they do noise, motion, a few wrong turns that felt right at the time I kept that song somewhere in the back like a question I never answered not lost just… unfinished Chorus But now I know You’re not a place I get to later not some thing I have to chase You meet me in the middle of things in the ordinary weight of my days no lightning no displays just You steady as the air I breathe I looked for proof something I could point to draw a line around but You don’t sit inside explanations You don’t reduce that small You stay close even when I don’t notice even when I don’t call I used to wonder if You were real now I wonder how I missed You how You kept showing up without forcing Your way in how You let me take the long road and still called it mine Final Chorus Now I know not everything not even close but enough to stop searching for the spirit in the sky like something I have to find You’re here You’ve been here and somehow that’s bigger than anything I had in my mind And now I know and the Spirit I couldn’t place back then wasn’t distance wasn’t mystery it was Jesus standing right here in the middle with me
